MGRM: Pride Week Film Fest & Schedule

18.6.2012, Gabi Calleja, MGRM Co-ordinator

The Malta Gay Rights Movement (MGRM) would like to invite you/your organisation to this year’s Pride March. This year’s event is planned to take place on Saturday 30th June 2012, gathering at 10:30 in front of Surfside in Sliema.

Pride is a symbolic manifestation which is held in many different cities around the world. It aims to increase the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons and their integral role in the societies where they live.

This year’s theme is I am. It is meant to remind everyone that LGBT individuals are part of society as much as everyone else is. Being an integral part of society, MGRM believes LGBT people should have access to rights that other people take for granted – but that all too often sexual minorities still need to struggle for.

This is the ninth consecutive year that this event is being organised and your participation is a clear sign of your commitment to respect for diversity and equality in Maltese society and around the world.

For further information please contact MGRM on 9925 5559 or visit our website at: www.maltagayrights.org. You can also follow us on Twitter: @MGRM_Malta.
